Wallpaper - I Did My Best

Our I Did My Best wallpaper brings together expressive, energetic brushstrokes in an expressive abstract composition. Layered shapes in pink, blue, yellow, green, and orange overlap across the surface, giving the impression of painted oil strokes with fluid transitions between warm and cool tones. What we particularly like about this design is the spontaneous, playful rhythm created by its varying brush widths and painterly textures, which keep the eye moving naturally across the wall. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it is straightforward to hang and provides an immediate burst of cheerful artistic character.

In the room

Because the abstract forms and saturated color blocks carry a lot of visual energy, we see this working well as a focal point in a playroom, teenage room, or home art studio. In an active space, giving the design a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full movement of the overlapping brushwork to show without competing with tall storage units. If you are decorating a smaller room, using this design behind a low desk or bed creates a striking graphic backdrop while keeping the surrounding sightlines clear.

Styling it

To balance the lively energy of the motif, we would keep the surrounding furniture shapes simple and modern. Clean, functional pieces in neutral painted finishes or light wood allow the artwork to lead the room without creating visual clutter. For smaller decorative touches, picking out just one of the secondary tones, such as cobalt blue or zesty yellow, in a single lamp base or ceramic accessory helps tie the space together while maintaining an uncluttered look.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features a vibrant mix of bubblegum pink, sky blue, sunny yellow, grassy green, and bright orange. When selecting colours for adjacent walls, trim, or larger textiles, soft off-whites, warm creams, or very pale grey provide a quiet, grounding contrast that lets the wall mural stand out. If you prefer a richer palette, pairing it with deep navy accents on nearby woodwork or shelving creates a crisp, intentional frame around the colourful shapes.
